Anthony Russo ranked #2 at elite 11 heading into day 4

What a bunch of peckerheads. It's almost as if some of you guys expect ( want?) him to de commit and go elsewhere. STFU

Want? Hell no!
Expect? Unfortunately yes, after seeing what happened in 2014 I have ZERO faith in Kyle flood keeping high level recruits

So you don't think there were extenuating circumstances in that class?
When he reels in this class it will make your point meaningless.

Husky, you STFU. No one wants him to decommit. Go f'ing live in communist Cuba which you seem to think is so great (best health care and education in the Americas) . It really scares me how stupid you are.
 
I'm happy for the kid but unhappy at the same time. With this kind of exposure it's only a matter of time before other schools start to take notice and offer. I hope we can keep him, would be huge for our program to land an elite 11 finalist

Don't worry, any recruit worth their salt will be pursued by other programs and when LOI day rolls around, the majority of those recruits sign on the dotted line to the school that they committed to.
Don't think those other schools didn't notice Anthony before , Russo has talent and don't think those other schools you're worried about didn't know it.
It was just that he wasn't as high on their charts as some other QBs they were after.
Same with Rutgers, but Flood made sure AR knew he had a place at the table anytime he wanted it.
Rutgers willl be keeping Russo ,in my opinion.

Those that feel otherwise, probably worry about every recruit that commits to RU, because of a lack of faith in the RU FB program many RU fans seem to have.

Dude it was 3 people who called me that and I'm pretty sure I've made it clear what my background is and where I stand with everything. I've always been openly a penn state supporter but a Rutgers graduate. Not my fault that you can't understand that people CAN support both schools.
 
Interesting that JT Barrett, Hack and a few other QB's are out there giving direction to the HS kids.

Starting tomorrow, DB's will be on the field with the WR's. I think this is where AR shines even more. He goes through progressions fast which I think the coaches will like.
 
There are a number of reasons why AR will stick besides the fact the kid is good for his word. 1) The major teams already have their QB just like we have ours, 2) This is the offense he wants for himself, a pro style offense and 3) he's has to believe he can start early which he probably can.
 
Why do people still care about rivals ratings? 247 has proved to be the most accurate time and time again. They update more frequently and they also provide composite score to go along with their own score on each recruit.
 
Read Russo's quote in this SI.com article about his take on the word "commitment". Let me know if he's likely to de-commit. The Rutgers offense is a great fit for this kid and he knows it. Most of the top programs have already identified their Class of 2016 QB. It's late in the ballgame for QBs.

One can say the possibility of a kid de-committing from any program can happen until the LOI is signed. Some kids more than others, and Russo is a kid that gets it. He is very unlikely to go back on his word.

If Russo is better than Nova and Teel, he can bring Rutgers to a new level and make our offense more exciting.
 
I remember there were a few that said JG has a lot of holes in his game that will soon be exppsed and 1 even said we dodged a bullet. Do people still think thats the case after his showing in the elite 11?

No, that is what butthurt fans said to make themselves feel better when he chose tenn. When comparing him to Russo, Russo is the more complete, college ready prospect right now but JG has more upside. Realistically JG needs a good redshirt year and at least another year after that to sit and learn, he could be a monster though if he reaches his potential.

For comparison, JG is like Colin Kaepernick, can be devestating and impossible to stop at times but at others ur left scratching your head... Russo is your Alex Smith type, reliable, smart with the football, a game manager. Russo doesn't have the arm that JG has but when you watch both of their tape, Russo doesn't force throws and takes what the defense gives him, lots of checkdowns, etc. JG tries to play hero a bit too much, has some brett favre/tony romo in him with forcing throws.

Encouraging to hear he is performing well in tee shirts and shorts. But I'll wait untill the film comes out of him making good throws & decisions under legit pressure. HIs junior highlight film was all throws from a clean pocket to wide open receivers. Happy to have him but not excited yet
 
Ridiculous stuff. Sky is falling guys or those who internally hope for the worst. And its mostly the negatoids

Would Garantano have had you excited?
 
I doubt this Ped fan has seen either of them play. Russo is nothing like Alex Smith.

Russo is EXACTLY like Alex Smith. SMH seriously bro enough with this psu troll crap, it's enough. I'm tired of hearing that crap when I've got $50k in student loans owed to rutgers and I had season tix my 4 years there. I rock a block R in a family full of penn staters with pride, I don't deserve to be talked to that way just because you may not like my viewpoint, there's an ingore button bro, u don't like me, hit it. I could give a sh*t but you can shut your mouth about me being a psu troll, I'm not. I'm a rutgers guy and DAMN proud of it so seriously F*ck Off!

We don't need someone trying to force the throws. Nova was like that and at times he was a hero but other times hurt our game. Russo is a better fit.

I won't ignore you. I'll just point out how your opinion sucks.

They are nothing a like outside of that they play the same position. Alex Smith was a much more mobile, smaller guy with a weaker arm.

AR is much bigger, not as mobile outside of the pocket, and has a bigger arm.

Alex Smith is/was more of duel threat qb who ran a spread offense at Utah under Urban Meyer. AR is a classic pro style drop back passer who will excel in a pro set offense that RU runs. He would never fit into a spread offense that would require the QB to run, like Meyer implements.

You couldn't be wrong, but I doubt that will stop you from demonstrating it, so keep at it.
 
But you can be certain that some big time programs will get into his ear. Will he listen? I hope not. But we have had guys the last few years who appeared as solid as could be and then jumped to bigger programs. Obviously we did offer him before JG and Haskins made their selections. There is no dispute about that. We were also actively recruiting JG since Schiano was here and had been in contact with Haskins the last few years. Russo was a relative new comer who had not played a lot of football. Has Russo accepted the offer the day it was made, RU would have kept recruiting JG and Haskins. I don't think anyone wants to dispute that fact. Had JF or Haskins committed, very likely RU would have cooled on Russo. I think at the end of the day, we are very happy with Russo and will retain him but there will be worry right up until commit day.

There are some kids who still believe a verbal commitment is a deal and based on his statement to SI that's this kid. There was no reason for him to state what he stated in a major publication. Who's the big time programs? Not many left that are not situated at QB and many don't play the offense that we do which is a perfect situation for this kid. This kid will end up honoring his word because that's who he is.

Haskins playing in t shirt and shorts too so I guess MD fans shouldn't be excited.

If the only players that will excite you are those that are one of the top 5 or higher at their position, then you might want to stop following this recruiting thing.

RUsmrtr says he's a proud Rutgers guy, yet in a thread welcoming a new commit, his response is "who's that?" He's either the worst Rutgers "fan" ever (makes RUChip look like RutgersAl) or he's a PSU troll. Plenty of people graduated from RU being fans of other teams.

So I ask on a free message board who our new recruit is bc I hadn't heard of him, and that makes me the worst fan ever?u then proceed to bring that up on another thread a week later to prove how smart u are? Dude get a life. Also if u look back on that thread I also commented that once I watched his tape he was impressive. I'm really f*cking sick of u same idiots getting on my case, u don't run this board, ur word isn't king and yet all u do is b*tch and scream 'troll! Troll!' Anytime anyone has an opinion different than its. Honestly u are as bad as pnnylion
